“…However, we explain the results of studies conducted in this respect in the following part. Studies conducted by Tavakoli et al (4) in 2019 prove that the new coronavirus epidemic is more extensive in humans than earlier coronaviruses, which indicates that this virus is remarkably spread. Consequently, this study's results can be explained that the first recommended solutions to prevent the incident of Corona disease are quarantine, staying at home, not attending in the community, and crowded places except in emergency times.…”

“…Symptoms that were reported in patients include fever, cough, fatigue, pneumonia, headache, diarrhea, hemoptysis, and dyspnea/shortness of breath and preventive measures such as masks, observing the hand hygiene measures, avoiding the public contact, diagnosing the cases, contact tracing and quarantine have been discussed as methods to reduce the spread of the disease, and no specific antiviral treatment has been proven up to now; hence, infected people rely originally on symptomatic treatment and supportive care (3). Some measures should be taken to follow up patients after discharge from the hospital in addition to treating patients suffering from corona disease during hospitalization, for example, to contact the medical centers accountable to follow up patients suffering from corona disease after discharge from the hospital; to provide the patient's medical records and files, and to send information and statistics associated with discharges to upstream committees and centers (4). This disease's mortality rate is 2 % despite its highly contagious value, which is lower than many infectious diseases such as the flu.…”

Background: This study has been examined in order to examine the studies conducted on disease management in the field of coronavirus caused disease in the type of COVID-19 in the form of area review regarding the development of coronavirus caused disease as a significant challenge in the 21st century and the importance of managing and controlling this disease. Methods: This study was conducted in the form of a field review to identify non-clinical and non-laboratory aspects of coronavirus in both Persian and English and the keywords such as "corona", "coronavirus", COVID-19 " were searched in the databases from "Scopus", "Web of Science", "PubMed", "SID" as well as "Google Scholar" search engines since the beginning of 2020. Results: The contents were searched in the adopted databases, and a total of 1257 studies were discovered, and eventually, 18 main papers were extracted and applied after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As the results obtained by the studies explain, a high percentage of the papers focused on stress management, crisis control, and management, focusing on employees and providing the solutions to decrease stress, including exercise, establishing beneficial relationships with relaxation, and so on. Conclusion: It is better governments provide remote health care services for patients to diagnose and treat this disease due to the speedy spread of coronavirus, lack of definitive treatment, and absence of sufficient quarantine infrastructure for developed patients. Crisis conditions cause all populations engaged in society to share a common purpose and utilize common values in a cooperative movement and progress.

Aim:The decision of admitting COVID-19 patients as inpatients is mostly determined by chest X-ray based diagnosis of pneumonia severity. However, prognosis of inpatients may diverge into two groups, one group of inpatients did not survive while another group did.Material and Method: More than 100 COVID-19 outpatients are collected from Tokat, Turkey in three categories: outpatients, surviving inpatients, and deceased inpatients. Their blood test profiles are analyzed and compared by dimension reduction techniques and classic statistical tests. Results:We observe that surviving inpatients share a common blood test profile with the outpatients, whereas non-surviving inpatients are distinctively different. The non-surviving inpatients are on average older. Among patients older than certain age, non-surviving inpatients have higher neutrophil level, lower lymphocyte level (thus higher neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio), lower calcium level, higher C-reactive-protein, sodium, whole blood cell level, andlower hemoglobin level, than the surviving patients (whether these are inpatients or outpatients). Conclusion:Surviving status is more important than in-and out-patient status in a patient's cluster membership based on blood test profile. This result suggests a plan to use both X-ray diagnosis and blood test results as a criterion to admit COVID-19 inpatients.

The operation theater is a very critical area, and everything needs to be done in an ordinate manner to maintain efficacy. However, managers are needed to maintain the functionality of the OT suite. An OR manager is responsible for many things, like scheduling OT but most importantly, OT efficiency. An OR manager faces different challenges during management of an OR suite. These vary from organization to organization. The most common types of diversity found in OT are cultural diversity, religious diversity, organizational and environmental diversity, and so on. An OR manager should manage these diversities ethically and professionally to overcome an ethical dilemma. OR managers should encourage ethical behavior to improve OT efficacy and effectiveness, but change may reduce or hinder OT effectiveness due to resistance to change. Ideally, the OR manager should manage sustainability to reduce resistance to change without compromising OT efficacy or inducing socio-ethical conflicts among the OR team. For this, OR teams are managed in such a way to facilitate high-quality teamwork and promote good communication skills. However, many barriers hinder communication, which may cause misconceptions and compromise efficacy. Many tactics and strategies are used to reduce these conflicts peri-operatively and OT performance indicators are used to determine the efficiency. To increase productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness as needed while lowering personnel costs, an OR manager organizes and schedules the OT.
